Hi all,
I was just wondering if any of you know how the Seatle Cinerama and LA's Cinerama Dome keep ther projectors in sync.
Bradford (UK) use the original system using selsyn motors,
Do the USA ones use modern techniques?

Phill Hill speced the LA domes system and I beleive somewhere in the forums he said it was a servo type using baldor or allen bradley drives
